Moorhens Artwork








 Both staff and children at Moorhens decided to add some artwork to two very bland wooden cupboard doors.






 The title we decided on was 'Spring & Summer and Autumn & Winter'.













                                                                         




Different materials and textures were used such as wallpaper, cotton wool, tissue paper,textured paint, glitter, cardboard, cellophane and much more.                                  







Sewing was also involved to add details to an Autumn leaf.


















Younger children helped cut and stick extra leaves to the picture.





The Christmas tree was painted before tissue paper was added.





Pipe cleaners were then used to add the affect of trimmings to the Christmas tree.



Ladybird children helped roll tissue paper into balls and stuck them on to the picture of the sun.



Cellophane was used to add the effect of water movement.




Cotton wool was used to for ice cream whilst sweet paper helped to cover  an Easter egg.
 


Finger knitting with wool was added to finish off the sheep picture which gave it texture.














This is the final result. It's taken a few months to finish, but what a wonderful job the children have done.
